The light source apparatus 100 may include a point light sourceconfigured to emit monochromatic light or white light. The light sourceapparatus 100 may refract, reflect, and/or scatter light in order toconvert light, which is emitted from the point light source, intouniform surface light. As mentioned above, the light source apparatus100 may refract, reflect, and/or scatter light, which is emitted fromthe point light source, thereby emitting uniform surface light towardthe front.

A configuration of the light source apparatus 100 will be described inmore detail below.

The liquid crystal panel 20 is provided in front of the light sourceapparatus 100 and blocks or transmits light emitted from the lightsource apparatus 100 to form the image I.

A front surface of the liquid crystal panel 20 may form the screen −12of the display apparatus 1 described above, and the liquid crystal panel20 may form the plurality of pixels P. In the liquid crystal panel 20,the plurality of pixels P may independently block or transmit light ofthe light source apparatus 100, and the light transmitted through theplurality of pixels P may form the image I displayed on the screen 12.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3 , the liquid crystal panel 20 mayinclude a first polarizing film 21, a first transparent substrate 22, apixel electrode 23, a thin film transistor 24, a liquid crystal layer25, a common electrode 26, a color filter 27, a second transparentsubstrate 28, and a second polarizing film 29.

The first transparent substrate 22 and/or the second transparentsubstrate 28 may fixedly support the pixel electrode 23, the thin filmtransistor 24, the liquid crystal layer 25, the common electrode 26,and/or the color filter 27. The first transparent substrate 22 and/orthe second transparent substrate 28 may be formed of tempered glass ortransparent resin.

The first polarizing film 21 and/or the second polarizing film 29 areprovided on the outside of the first transparent substrate 22 and/or thesecond transparent substrate 28. Each of the first polarizing film 21and the second polarizing film 29 may transmit a specific polarizedlight beam and block (reflect or absorb) other polarized light beams.For example, the first polarizing film 21 transmits polarized lightbeams in a first direction and blocks (reflect or absorb) otherpolarized light beams. In addition, the second polarizing film 29transmits polarized light beams in a second direction and blocks(reflect or absorb) other polarized light beams. In this case, the firstdirection and the second direction may be perpendicular to each other.Accordingly, the polarized light beam transmitted through the firstpolarizing film 21 may not pass through the second polarizing film 29.

The color filter 27 may be provided inside the second transparentsubstrate 28. The color filter 27 may include a red filter 27Rtransmitting red light, a green filter 27G transmitting green light, anda blue filter 27G transmitting blue light.

The pixel electrode 23 may be provided inside the first transparentsubstrate 22, and the common electrode 26 may be provided inside thesecond transparent substrate 28. The pixel electrode 23 and the commonelectrode 26 may be formed of a metal material through which electricityis conducted. The pixel electrode 23 and the common electrode 26 maygenerate an electric field to change the arrangement of liquid crystalmolecules 25 a forming the liquid crystal layer 25 to be describedbelow.

The thin film transistor (TFT) 24 is provided inside the secondtransparent substrate 22. The TFT 24 may transmit or block a currentflowing through the pixel electrode 23. For example, an electric fieldmay be formed or removed between the pixel electrode 23 and the commonelectrode 26 in response to turning on (closing) or turning off(opening) the TFT 24.

The liquid crystal layer 25 is formed between the pixel electrode 23 andthe common electrode 26. The liquid crystal layer 25 is filled with theliquid crystal molecules 25 a. Liquid crystals represent an intermediatestate between a solid (crystal) and a liquid. Liquid crystals alsoexhibit optical properties according to changes in an electric field.For example, in the liquid crystal, the direction of an arrangement ofmolecules forming the liquid crystal may change according to a change inan electric field. As a result, the optical properties of the liquidcrystal layer 25 may vary depending on the presence or absence of anelectric field transmitted through the liquid crystal layer 25.

A cable 20 a configured to transmit image data to the liquid crystalpanel 20, and a display driver integrated circuit (hereinafter referredto as ‘panel driver’) 30 configured to process digital image data andoutput an analog image signal are provided at one side of the liquidcrystal panel 20.

FIG. 4 is an exploded view of a light source apparatus of the displayapparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the presentdisclosure. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a light source included inthe light source apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of thepresent disclosure. FIG. 6 is a view of an example of the light emittingdiode included in the light source apparatus according to an exemplaryembodiment of the present disclosure.

As illustrated in FIG. 4 , the light source apparatus 100 may include alight source module 110 configured to generate light, a reflective sheet120 configured to reflect light, a diffuser plate 130 configured touniformly diffuse light, and an optical sheet 140 configured to improveluminance of light that is emitted.

The light source module 110 may include a plurality of light sources 111configured to emit light, and a substrate 112 configured to support/fixthe plurality of light sources 111.

The plurality of light sources 111 may be arranged in a predeterminedpattern to allow light to be emitted with uniform luminance. Theplurality of light sources 111 may be arranged in such a way that adistance between one light source and light sources adjacent thereto isthe same.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , the plurality of light sources 111 maybe arranged in rows and columns. Accordingly, the plurality of lightsources 111 may be arranged such that an approximately square is formedby four adjacent light sources. In addition, any one light source may bedisposed adjacent to four light sources, and a distance between onelight source and four adjacent light sources may be approximately thesame.

Alternatively, the plurality of light sources may be disposed in aplurality of rows, and a light source belonging to each row may bedisposed at the center of two light sources belonging to an adjacentrow. Accordingly, the plurality of light sources may be arranged suchthat an approximately equilateral triangle is formed by three adjacentlight sources. In this case, one light source may be disposed adjacentto six light sources, and a distance between one light source and sixadjacent light sources may be approximately the same.

However, the pattern in which the plurality of light sources 111 isdisposed is not limited to the pattern described above, and theplurality of light sources 111 may be disposed in various patterns toallow light to be emitted with uniform luminance.

The light source 111 may employ an element configured to emitmonochromatic light (light of a specific wavelength or light of a singlepeak wavelength, for example, blue light) or white light (light of aplurality of peak wavelengths, for example, light of a mixture of redlight, green light, and blue light) in various directions by receivingpower.

Each of the plurality of light source 111 may include a light emittingdiode (LED) 190, and an optical dome 180.

To reduce a thickness of the display apparatus 1, a thickness of theoptical device 100 may be reduced. A thickness of each of the pluralityof light sources 111 is reduced to allow the thickness of the opticaldevice 100 to be reduced resulting in a simplified structure.

The LED 190 may be directly attached to the substrate 112 in a Chip OnBoard (COB) method. In other words, the light source 111 may include theLED 190 where a light emitting diode chip or a light emitting diode dieis directly attached to the substrate 112 without an additional package.

The LED 190 may be manufactured in the flip chip type. As for theflip-chip type LED 190, when attaching the light emitting diodecorresponding to a semiconductor device to the substrate 112, anintermediate medium, such as a metal lead (wire) or a ball grid array(BGA) may not be used. Instead, an electrode pattern of thesemiconductor device may be fused to the substrate 112 as it is.Accordingly, because the metal lead (wire) or the ball grid array isomitted, the light source 111 including the flip-chip type LED 190 maybe miniaturized.

For example, the LED 190 may be a Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR)based LED including a DBR, as shown in FIG. 6 .

The LED 190 may include a transparent substrate 195, an n-typesemiconductor layer 193 (for example, n-type GaN, or n-type galliumnitride) and a p-type semiconductor layer 192 (for example, p-type GaN,or p-type gallium nitride). Between the n-type semiconductor layer 193and the p-type semiconductor layer 192, a multi-quantum well (MQW) layer194 and an electron-blocking layer (EBL) 197 are formed. In response toa current being supplied to the LED 190, electrons and holes arerecombined in the MQW layer 194 and thus light may be emitted.

A first electrode 191 a of the LED 190 is in electrical contact with thep-type semiconductor layer 192, and a second electrode 191 b is inelectrical contact with the n-type semiconductor layer 193. The firstelectrode 191 a and the second electrode 191 b may function not only aselectrodes, but also as reflectors configured to reflect light.

A DBR layer 196 is provided on the outside of the transparent substrate195. The DBR layer 196 may be formed by laminating a material having adifferent refractive index, and the DBR layer 196 may reflect incidentlight. Because the DBR layer 196 is provided outside the transparentsubstrate 195 (an upper side in the drawing), light perpendicularlyincident on the DBR layer 196 may be reflected by the DBR layer 196.Therefore, an intensity of light, which is emitted in a directionperpendicular to the DBR layer 196 (an upward direction of the lightemitting diode in the drawing) D1, is less than an intensity of light,which is emitted in a direction inclined with respect to the DBR layer196 (for example, a direction inclined by approximately 60 degrees fromthe upward direction in the drawing) D2. In other words, the LED 190 mayemit stronger light in a lateral direction than in a vertical direction.

In the above description, the flip-chip type LED 190 directly fused onthe substrate 112 in the COB method has been described, but the lightsource 111 is not limited to the flip-chip type LED 190. For example,the light source 111 may include a package type LED.

The optical dome 180 may cover the LED 190. The optical dome 180 mayprevent or suppress damages to the LED 190 caused by an externalmechanical action and/or damage to the LED 190 caused by to a chemicalaction.

The optical dome 180 may have a dome shape formed in such a way that asphere is cut into a surface not including the center thereof, or mayhave a hemispherical shape in such a way that a sphere is cut into asurface including the center thereof. A vertical cross section of theoptical dome 180 may be a bow shape or a semicircle shape.

The optical dome 180 may be formed of silicone or epoxy resin. Forexample, the molten silicon or epoxy resin may be discharged onto theLED 190 through a nozzle, and the discharged silicon or epoxy resin maybe cured, thereby forming the optical dome 180.

Accordingly, the shape of the optical dome 180 may vary depending on theviscosity of the liquid silicone or epoxy resin. For example, theoptical dome 180 is manufactured using silicon having a thixotropicindex of about 2.7 to 3.3 (appropriately, 3.0). Additionally, theoptical dome 180 may be formed with a dome ratio indicating a ratio of aheight of a dome with respect to a diameter of a base of the dome (theheight of the dome/the diameter of the base) of approximately 0.25 to0.31 (appropriately 0.28). For example, the optical dome 180 formed ofsilicon having a thixotropic index of approximately 2.7 to 3.3(appropriately 3.0) may have a diameter of approximately 2.5 mm(millimeter; 1/1,000 meter). The diameter of the optical dome 180 mayhave an error margin of approximately ±20%, and may be betweenapproximately 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm. The height of the optical dome 180 mayof approximately 0.7 mm. The height of the optical dome 180 may have anerror margin of approximately ±20% and may be between approximately 0.5mm and 0.9 mm.

However, the diameter (or size) of the optical dome 180 is not limitedthereto and thus the diameter (or size) of the optical dome 180 may beapproximately several hundred μm (micrometers; 1/1,000,000 meter) toseveral tens of mm.

The optical dome 180 may be optically transparent or translucent. Lightemitted from the LED 190 may pass through the optical dome 180 and beemitted to the outside.

In this case, the dome-shaped optical dome 180 may refract light like alens. For example, light emitted from the LED 190 may be refracted bythe optical dome 180 and thus may be dispersed.

As mentioned above, the optical dome 180 may protect the LED 190 fromexternal mechanical and/or chemical or electrical actions, as well asdispersing light emitted from the LED 190.

In the above description, the optical dome 180 in the form of a silicondome has been described, but the light source 111 is not limited toincluding the optical dome 180. For example, the light source 111 mayinclude a lens for dispersing light emitted from the LED.

The substrate 112 may fix the plurality of light sources 111 to preventa change in the position of the light source 111. Further, the substrate112 may supply power, which is for the light source 111 to emit light,to the light source 111.

The substrate 112 may support/fix the plurality of light sources 111 andmay be configured with a synthetic resin, tempered glass, or a printedcircuit board (PCB) on which a conductive power supply line forsupplying power to the light source 111 is formed.

The reflective sheet 120 may reflect light emitted from the plurality oflight sources 111 forward or in a direction close to the front.

In the reflective sheet 120, a plurality of through holes 120 a isformed at positions corresponding to each of the plurality of lightsources 111 of the light source module 110. In addition, the lightsource 111 of the light source module 110 may pass through the throughhole 120 a and protrude to the front of the reflective sheet 120.Accordingly, the plurality of light sources 111 may emit light in frontof the reflective sheet 120. The reflective sheet 120 may reflect light,which is emitted toward the reflective sheet 120 from the plurality oflight sources 111, to the diffuser plate 130.

A size and arrangement of the through-holes 120 a may depend on a sizeand arrangement of the light source 111. For example, based on adiameter of the light source 111 being approximately 2.5 mm, a diameterof the through holes 120 a may be appropriately 4.5 mm. The diameter ofthe through holes 120 a may have an error margin of approximately ±20%,and may be between approximately 3.5 mm and 5.5 mm. In addition, adistance between the centers of the through holes 120 a may beappropriately 11 mm. The distance between the centers of the throughholes 120 a may have an error margin of approximately ±20%, and may bebetween approximately 8.5 mm and 13.5 mm.

The diffuser plate 130 may be provided in front of the light sourcemodule 110 and/or the reflective sheet 120 and may evenly distribute thelight emitted from the light source 111 of the light source module 110.

As described above, the plurality of light sources 111 is located atequal intervals on the rear surface of the light source apparatus 100.Accordingly, unevenness in luminance may occur according to thepositions of the plurality of light sources 111.

The diffuser plate 130 may diffuse light emitted from the plurality oflight sources 111 within the diffuser plate 130 in order to removeunevenness in luminance caused by the plurality of light sources 111. Inother words, the diffuser plate 130 may uniformly emit uneven light ofthe plurality of light sources 111 to the front surface.

The optical sheet 140 may include various sheets for improving luminanceand uniformity of luminance. For example, the optical sheet 140 mayinclude a light conversion sheet 141, a diffusion sheet 142, a prismsheet 143, and a reflective polarizing sheet 144.

The light conversion sheet 141 may convert a wavelength of a portion ofincident light. For example, the light conversion sheet 141 may includea quantum dot (QD) material or a fluorescent material. Depending on theconstituent material, the light conversion sheet 141 may be referred toas a fluorescent sheet or a quantum dot sheet.

Quantum dots are nanometers (nm; 1/1,000,000,000 meter) of smallsphere-shaped semiconductor particles, and the quantum dot includesabout 2 nanometers [nm] to 10 [nm] of a core and a shell formed of zincsulfide (ZnS). The core of the quantum dot may be formed of cadmiumselenite (CdSe), cadmium telluride (CdTe), or cadmium sulfide (CdS).

The quantum dot emits a particular wavelength of light when an electricfield is applied or when absorbing high energy light. In this case, thewavelength of the emitted light may depend on the size of the quantumdot. The smaller quantum dot may emit the shorter wavelength of light,and the larger quantum dot may emit the longer wavelength of light. Forexample, a quantum dot having a diameter of approximately 2 nm may emitapproximately blue light, a quantum dot having a diameter ofapproximately 3 nm may emit approximately green light, and a quantum dothaving a diameter of approximately 6 nm may emit approximately redlight.

A material in which the quantum dot having the diameter of approximately3 nm and the quantum dot having the diameter of approximately 6 nm aremixed may absorb blue light or ultraviolet light and emit green lightand/or red light. For example, when blue light or ultraviolet light isincident on the light conversion sheet 141 on which a quantum dot havingthe diameter of approximately 3 nm and a quantum dot having the diameterof approximately 6 nm are mixed, a portion of blue light or ultravioletlight may be converted into green light and/or red light, and anotherportion of the light may pass through the light conversion sheet 141. Asa result, white light in which blue light, green light, and/or red lightare mixed may be emitted from the light conversion sheet 141.

The fluorescent material may convert blue light into yellow light ororange light, or convert blue light into red light and/or green light.

The light conversion sheet 141 may include a yellow (YAG) phosphor thatconverts blue light to yellow light or orange light, or a red/green (RG)phosphor that converts blue light to red light and/or green light. Forexample, the light conversion sheet 141 may include a K2SiF6 (KSF)phosphor or a K2TiF6 (KTF) phosphor.

The diffusion sheet 142 may diffuse light to improve uniformity of lighttransmitted through the light conversion sheet 141.

The prism sheet 143 may deflect the light, which passes through thediffusion sheet 142, to be directed to the front of the light sourceapparatus 100 (for example, a normal direction of a plane defined by thelight source apparatus). For example, light may be diffused in thediffusion sheet 142, and the light may be emitted in an obliquedirection from the diffusion sheet 142. By using refraction of light,the prism sheet 143 may deflect light in a normal direction of a planedefined by the prism sheet 143.

The reflective polarizing sheet 144 may transmit a portion of theincident light and reflect other portion of the incident light. Forexample, the reflective polarizing sheet 144 may transmit P-polarizedlight and reflect S-polarized light. In general, because the polarizingsheet absorbs polarized light, the luminance of the light sourceapparatus may be lowered. On the other hand, the reflective polarizingsheet 144 reflects polarized light, and thus the reflected light may berecycled in the light source apparatus 100.

The order of lamination of the optical sheet 140 is not limited to thatshown in FIG. 4 . For example, the optical sheet 140 may be laminated insuch a way that the diffusion sheet 142->the optical change sheet141->the prism sheet 143->the reflective polarizing sheet 144 aresequentially laminated. Alternatively, the diffusion sheet 142->theprism sheet 143->the optical change sheet 141->the reflective polarizingsheet 144 may be sequentially laminated.

In addition, the optical sheet 140 is not limited to the sheet or filmillustrated in FIG. 4 , and may include more various sheets or films,such as a protective sheet.

FIG. 7 is a view of a travel path of light in the light source apparatusaccording to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 8is a view of a travel path of light at a center portion and an edgeportion of the light source apparatus according to an exemplaryembodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 9 is a view of a lightconversion patch arranged on the edge portion of the light sourceapparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the presentdisclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 , the light source apparatus 100 may includethe light source module 110, the reflective sheet 120, the diffuserplate 130, and/or the optical sheet 140.

The light source module 110 includes the plurality of point lightsources 111. Light emitted from the plurality of point light sources 111may be converted into uniform light while being transmitted through thediffuser plate 130 and/or the optical sheet 140.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7 , light L1 may be emitted from the lightsource 111. Light L1 may include blue light having a wavelength ofapproximately 450 nm and 495 nm.

The light L1 may be transmitted through the diffuser plate 130 andincident on the optical sheet 140. The light L1 may be transmittedthrough the optical sheet 140 or may be reflected from the optical sheet140. In addition, although not shown in the drawings, a portion of thelight L1 may be absorbed by the diffuser plate 130 and/or the opticalsheet 140. The absorbed light may be converted into heat in the diffuserplate 130 and/or the optical sheet 140.

A portion of the light L1, which is light L2, may be transmitted throughthe optical sheet 140 and then be emitted to the outside of the lightsource apparatus 100. Particularly, the light L2 emitted from the lightsource apparatus 100 may be transmitted through the light conversionsheet 141 included in the optical sheet 140. A wavelength of a portionof the light 2 may be changed while being transmitted through the lightconversion sheet 141.

For example, a portion of the blue light contained in the light may betransmitted through the light conversion sheet 141, and another portionof the blue light may be changed to red light and/or green light by thelight conversion sheet 141. Accordingly, a ratio of blue light of lighttransmitted through the optical sheet 140 may be reduced, and a ratio ofred light and/or green light may be increased.

A portion of the light L1, which is light L3, may be reflected by theoptical sheet 140. For example, the light L3 may be reflected by thereflective polarizing sheet 144. Accordingly, a portion of the light maybe reflected by the reflective polarizing sheet 144, and thus the lightabsorbed by the polarizing sheets 21 and 29 of the liquid crystal panel20 may be reduced, thereby increasing the light recycling efficiency ofthe display apparatus 1 and thereby improving the luminance of thedisplay apparatus 1.

In addition, the light L3 reflected from the reflective polarizing sheet144 may be transmitted through the light conversion sheet 141. Forexample, the light may be transmitted through the light conversion sheet141 before and after being reflected by the reflective polarizing sheet144, respectively. Accordingly, the ratio of blue light of the light L3reflected from the reflective polarizing sheet 144 may be furtherreduced, and the ratio of red light and/or green light may be furtherincreased.

The light L3 may be moved toward the reflective sheet 120, and reflectedby the reflective sheet 120.

Light L4 reflected from the reflective sheet 120 may be againtransmitted through the diffuser plate 130 and incident on the opticalsheet 140. The light L4 may be transmitted through the optical sheet 140or may be reflected from the optical sheet 140.

A portion of the light L4, which is light L5, may be transmitted throughthe optical sheet 140, and emitted to the outside of the light sourceapparatus 100. The light L5 may be transmitted through the lightconversion sheet 141 included in the optical sheet 140. The ratio ofblue light of the light L5 transmitted through the light conversionsheet 141 may be further reduced, and the ratio of red light and/orgreen light may be further increased.

When the light is reflected by the reflective polarizing sheet 144 andthe reflective sheet 120, the light may be transmitted through the lightconversion sheet 141 several times, and thus the blue light may beconverted into the red light and/or the green light. Therefore, theratio of blue light, in the light L5 having been reflected a largenumber of times between the reflective polarizing sheet 144 and thereflective sheet 120, may be less than the ratio of blue light in thelight 2 having been reflected a small number of times between thereflective polarizing sheet 144 and the reflective sheet 120. Inaddition, a ratio of red light and/or green light of the light L5 may begreater than a ratio of red light and/or green light of the light L2.

In other words, the light L2 having been reflected a small number oftimes is bluish in comparison with the light L5 having a large number oftimes, and the light L5 is yellowish in comparison with the light L2.The light L2 and the light L5 may be mixed with each other and the lightsource apparatus 100 may emit white light in which the light L2 and thelight L5 are mixed. In addition, the white light emitted from the lightsource apparatus 100 may be incident on the liquid crystal panel 20.

At this time, a mixing ratio of the bluish light L2 and the yellowishlight 5 may vary according to a position of the light source apparatus100.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8 , in various positions P1 and P2 of thelight source apparatus 100, the bluish light L2 and the yellowish lightL5 may be mixed and the mixed light may be emitted from the light sourceapparatus 100.

Light emitted from a first position P1 of a central portion of the lightsource apparatus 100 may include the light L2 emitted from the lightsource 111 (where the number of times transmitted through the lightconversion sheet is small), the light L5 reflected by the leftreflective sheet 120 (where the number of times transmitted through thelight conversion sheet is large), and the light L5 reflected by theright reflective sheet 120 of the light source 111 (where the number oftimes transmitted through the light conversion sheet is large).

Light emitted from a second position P2 of an edge portion of the lightsource apparatus 100 may include the light L2 emitted from the lightsource 111 (where the number of times transmitted through the lightconversion sheet is small), and the light L5 reflected by the rightreflective sheet 120 of the light source 111 (where the number of timestransmitted through the light conversion sheet is large).

Therefore, a ratio of bluish light contained in the light emitted fromthe first position P1 may be less than a ratio of bluish light containedin the light emitted from the second position P2. In other words, thelight emitted from the edge portion of the light source apparatus 100 ismore bluish than the light emitted from the central portion of the lightsource apparatus 100.

A user can relatively easily visually recognize a slight colordifference between different locations on the same display apparatus 1.In other words, the edge portion of the light source apparatus 100 ismore bluish than the center portion of the light source apparatus 100,that is, an optical defect can be easily recognized by a user.

For example, when a blue (or green) image, such as an image of the skyor an image of a sports game (for example, golf) is displayed across thescreen 12, a user can easily recognize the optical defect at the edgeportion of the display apparatus 1.

As another example, when a white image is displayed across the screen12, such as a snowy snow scene image, a user can easily recognize theoptical defect at the edge portion of the display apparatus 1 as well.

In order to prevent or suppress the optical defects at the edge portionof the display apparatus 1, a light conversion patch 200 including atleast one of a yellow fluorescent material, a red/green fluorescentmaterial, a yellow pigment, a red/green pigment, a yellow dye, ared/green dye, or a red/green quantum dot material may be applied,printed or coated on the edge portion of the light source apparatus 100,as shown in FIG. 9 .

For example, on the edge portion of the reflective sheet 120, the lightconversion patch 200 may be applied, printed, or coated. The reflectivesheet 120 may be divided into a first region representing an edgeportion and a second region representing a central portion. The lightconversion patch 200 may be applied, printed, or coated on the firstregion of the reflective sheet 120, and the light conversion patch 200may not be applied, printed, or coated on the second region of thereflective sheet 120.

As another example, on the edge portion of the substrate 112, the lightconversion patch 200 may be applied, printed, or coated. The substrate112 may be divided into a first region representing an edge portion anda second region representing a central portion. The light conversionpatch 200 may be applied, printed, or coated on the first region of thesubstrate 112, and the light conversion patch 200 may not be applied,printed, or coated on the second region of the substrate 112.

The light conversion patch 200 may absorb a portion of blue light amongincident light, and may convert a portion of the absorbed blue lightinto yellow light, red light, or green light. In addition, the lightconversion patch 200 may absorb blue light among incident light and mayreflect yellow light, red light, or green light.

Accordingly, the ratio of blue light of the light, which is transmittedthrough the light conversion patch 200, may be reduced, and the ratio ofyellow light, red light, or green light of the light may be increased.

As mentioned above, the light emitted from the second position P2 of theedge portion of the light source apparatus 100 may include the light L2emitted from the light source 111 (where the number of times transmittedthrough the light conversion sheet is small), and the light L5 reflectedby the right reflective sheet 120 of the light source 111.

The light conversion patch 200 may be applied, printed, or coated on theedge portion of the reflective sheet 120. During the light L5 isreflected from the edge portion of the reflective sheet 120, a portionof blue light included in the light L5 may be converted into yellowlight, red light, or green light by the light conversion patch 200.Accordingly, the ratio of blue light in the light L5 may be reduced, andthe ratio of yellow light may be increased. In other words, the light L5may be more yellowish.

Accordingly, the ratio of bluish light included in the light emittedfrom the second position P2 may be reduced, and the light emitted fromthe edge portion of the light source apparatus 100 may be less bluish.Further, a difference between the ratio of blue light at the edgeportion of the light source apparatus 100 and the ratio of blue light atthe center portion of the light source apparatus 100 may be reduced toan extent that the user cannot recognize.

The light conversion patch 200 in the various types or in the variouspattern may be applied, printed or coated on the edge portion of thereflective sheet 120 or the edge portion of the substrate 112.

For example, the light conversion patch 200 may be applied, printed orcoated on the edge portion of the reflective sheet 120 to surround thethrough-holes 120 a, as shown in FIG. 9 .

As mentioned above, the reflective sheet 120 may be divided into thefirst region representing the edge portion and the second regionrepresenting the central portion. In the first region of the reflectivesheet 120, a through hole, around which the light conversion patch 200is applied, printed or coated, may be disposed. In the second region ofthe reflective sheet 120, a through hole, around which the lightconversion patch 200 is not applied, printed or coated, may be disposed.

However, the type or pattern of the light conversion patch 200 as shownin FIG. 9 is only an example of applying, printing or coating the lightconversion patch 200, and thus the type or pattern of the lightconversion patch 200 is not limited thereto.

The light conversion patch 200 may be applied, printed, or coated tosurround the light source 111 on the edge portion of the substrate 112.The light conversion patch 200 arranged on the edge portion of thesubstrate 112 may be exposed through the through hole 120 a.

Hereinafter various types or patterns in which the light conversionpatch 200 is applied, printed or coated on the edge portion of the lightsource apparatus 100 will be described.

FIG. 10 is a view of an example of an arrangement of the lightconversion patch of left and right edge portions of the light sourceapparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the presentdisclosure.

As illustrated in FIG. 10 , the through hole 120 a, through which thelight from the plurality of light sources 111 passes, is formed on thereflective sheet 120. Further, on the edge portion of the reflectivesheet 120, the light conversion patch 200 may be applied, printed orcoated (hereinafter referred to as “arranged”).

The light conversion patch 200 may include a light conversion materialthat absorbs a portion of blue light among incident light and converts aportion of the absorbed blue light into yellow light, red light, orgreen light. For example, the light conversion patch 200 may include atleast one of a yellow fluorescent material, a red fluorescent material,a green fluorescent material, a red quantum dot material, or a greenquantum dot material.

In addition, the light conversion patch 200 may include a lightconversion material that absorbs a portion of blue light and reflectsyellow light, red light, or green light among incident light. Forexample, the light conversion patch 200 may include at least one of ayellow pigment, a red pigment, a green pigment, a yellow dye, a red dye,or a green dye.

The light conversion patch 200 may be approximately circular orelliptical. In addition, on the edge portion of the reflective sheet120, the light conversion patch 200 may be arranged around the throughholes 120 a to surround the through holes 120 a.

The light conversion patch 200 may include a plurality of first lightconversion patches 210 arranged around a first through hole 121 disposedin a first column in left and right edges 120 b of the reflective sheet120.

A size and/or number of the first light conversion patch 210 may dependon the arrangement and size of the through-holes 120 a. In response toan increase in the distance between the through holes 120 a and anincrease in the size of the through holes 120 a, the size of the firstlight conversion patches 210 may be increased or the number of firstlight conversion patches 210 may be increased.

For example, when the distance between the centers of the through-holes120 a is approximately 11.0 mm and the diameter of the through-holes 120a is approximately 4.5 mm, eight first light conversion patches 210 maybe arranged around the first through-hole 121. Each of the eight firstlight conversion patches 210 may have a diameter of approximately 1.0 mmto 2.0 mm. The diameter of each of the first light conversion patches210 may approximately 1.5 mm, and the diameter thereof may have an errormargin of ±20%. In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment, thediameter of each of the first light conversion patches 210 may beapproximately 1.3 mm or 1.1 mm.

The plurality of first light conversion patches 210 may be arranged atapproximately equal intervals along a circumference of a virtual circlesurrounding the first through hole 121. In addition, the plurality offirst light conversion patches 210 may be arranged at approximatelyequal angular intervals with respect to a virtual central point in thefirst through hole 121. For example, the eight first light conversionpatches 210 may be arranged at an angular interval of approximately 45degrees with respect to the virtual central point in the first throughhole 121.

The light conversion patch 200 may include a plurality of second lightconversion patches 220 arranged around a second through hole 122disposed in a second column in the left and right edges 120 b of thereflective sheet 120.

A size and/or number of the second light conversion patches 220 maydepend on the arrangement and size of the through-holes 120 a. Forexample, when the distance between the centers of the through-holes 120a is approximately 11.0 mm and the diameter of the through-holes 120 ais approximately 4.5 mm, four second light conversion patches 220 may bearranged around the second through-hole 122. Each of the four secondlight conversion patches 220 may have a diameter of approximately 0.8 mmto 1.5 mm. The diameter of each of the second light conversion patches220 may approximately 1.3 mm, and the diameter thereof may have an errormargin of ±20%. In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment, thediameter of each of the second light conversion patches 220 may beapproximately 1.2 mm, 1.1 mm, or 0.9 mm.

The plurality of second light conversion patches 220 may be arranged atapproximately equal intervals along a circumference of a virtual circlesurrounding the second through hole 122. In addition, the plurality ofsecond light conversion patches 220 may be arranged at approximatelyequal angular intervals with respect to a virtual central point in thesecond through hole 122. For example, the four second light conversionpatches 220 may be arranged at an angular interval of approximately 90degrees with respect to the virtual central point in the second throughhole 122.

The light conversion patch 200 may include a plurality of third lightconversion patches 230 arranged around a third through hole 123 disposedin a third column in the left and right edges of the reflective sheet120.

A size and/or number of the third light conversion patches 230 maydepend on the arrangement and size of the through-holes 120 a. Forexample, when the distance between the centers of the through-holes 120a is approximately 11.0 mm and the diameter of the through-holes 120 ais approximately 4.5 mm, three third light conversion patches 230 may bearranged around the third through-hole 123. Each of the three thirdlight conversion patches 230 may have a diameter of approximately 0.6 mmto 1.3 mm. The diameter of each of the third light conversion patches230 may approximately 1.1 mm, and the diameter thereof may have an errormargin of ±20%. In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment, thediameter of each of the third light conversion patches 230 may beapproximately 0.9 mm or 0.7 mm.

The plurality of third light conversion patches 230 may be arranged atapproximately equal intervals along a circumference of a virtual circlesurrounding the third through hole 123. For example, the three thirdlight conversion patches 230 may be arranged at an angular interval ofapproximately 45 degrees or 90 degrees with respect to the virtualcentral point in the third through hole 123.

The diameters of the first light conversion patches 210, the secondlight conversion patches 220, and the third light conversion patches 230may be variously combined. For example, the diameter of the first lightconversion patches 210, the second light conversion patches 220, and thethird light conversion patches 230 may be approximately 1.5 mm,approximately 1.3 mm, and approximately 1.1 mm, respectively. As anotherexample, the diameter of the first light conversion patches 210, thesecond light conversion patches 220, and the third light conversionpatches 230 may be approximately 1.3 mm, approximately 1.2 mm, andapproximately 1.1 mm, respectively. As another example, the diameter ofthe first light conversion patches 210, the second light conversionpatches 220, and the third light conversion patches 230 may beapproximately 1.3 mm, approximately 1.1 mm, and approximately 0.9 mm,respectively. As another example, the diameter of the first lightconversion patches 210, the second light conversion patches 220, and thethird light conversion patches 230 may be approximately 1.1 mm,approximately 0.9 mm, and approximately 0.7 mm, respectively.

The light conversion patch 200 may not be only arranged around thethrough holes 120 a of the edge portion of the reflective sheet 120, butalso arranged between the through holes 120 a and the through holes 120a of the edge portion of the reflective sheet 120.

For example, between the first through hole 121 of the reflective sheet120 and the second through hole 122 of the reflective sheet 120, threelight conversion patches may be arranged. A diameter of the lightconversion patch arranged between the first through hole 121 and thesecond through hole 122 may be between approximately 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm,and appropriately 1.5 mm.

Between the second through hole 122 of the reflective sheet 120 and thethird through hole 123 of the reflective sheet 120, three lightconversion patches may be arranged. A diameter of the light conversionpatch arranged between the second through hole 122 and the third throughhole 123 may be between approximately 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm, andappropriately 1.3 mm.

Three light conversion patches may be arranged on an inside of the thirdthrough hole 123 of the reflective sheet 120. A diameter of the lightconversion patch arranged inside the third through hole 123 may bebetween approximately 0.5 mm and 1.1 mm, and appropriately approximately0.9 mm.

As described above, at the right and left edge portions of thereflective sheet 120, the first light conversion patch 210, the secondlight conversion patches 220 and/or the third light conversion patch 230may be arranged.

The size of each of the first light conversion patches 210 arranged atthe outermost side of the left and right edge portions of the reflectivesheet 120 is greater than the size of each of the second lightconversion patches 220 arranged more inside than the first lightconversion patches 210. The distance between the first light conversionpatches 210 is less than the distance between the second lightconversion patches 220. Further, the number of the first lightconversion patches 210 is greater than the number of the second lightconversion patches 220.

The size of each of the second light conversion patches 220 is greaterthan the size of each of the third light conversion patches 230 arrangedfurther inside than the second light conversion patches 220. Thedistance between the second light conversion patches 220 is less thanthe distance between the third light conversion patches 230. Further,the number of the second light conversion patches 220 is greater thanthe number of the third light conversion patches 230.

As mentioned above, as the distance from the left and right edges 120 bof the reflective sheet 120 to the light conversion patch 200 isincreased, the size of the light conversion patch 200 may be reduced,the distance between the light conversion patches 200 may be increased,and the number of light conversion patches 200 may be reduced. Inaddition, as the distance from the left and right edges 120 b of thereflective sheet 120 to the light conversion patch 200 is increased, aratio of an area occupied by the light conversion patch 200 may bereduced.

Accordingly, when the light is reflected by the edge portion of thereflective sheet 120, the ratio of blue light contained in the light maybe reduced, and the ratio of yellow light may be further increased. Itis possible to relieve a difficulty in which an amount of light L5,which has the large number of times transmitted through the lightconversion sheet, in the edge portion of the light source apparatus 100is less than an amount of light L5 in the central portion of the lightsource apparatus 100. Further, a defect, in which the edge portion ofthe light source apparatus 100 is more bluish than the central portionof the light source apparatus 100 may be eliminated.

FIG. 11 is a view of an example of an arrangement of the lightconversion patch of a corner portion of the light source apparatusaccording to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

FIG. 10 illustrates the arrangement of the light conversion patch 200 atthe left and right edges of the light source apparatus 100, but thelight conversion patch 200 may be also arranged at upper and lower edgesof the light source apparatus 100. Further, the light conversion patch200 may be arranged at a corner portion of the light source apparatus100.

As illustrated in FIG. 11 , on the reflective sheet 120, the pluralityof through-holes 120 a is formed.

For example, the diameter of the seventh light conversionpatches 270 may be greater than the diameter of the first and fourthlight conversion patches 210 and 240 arranged at the outermost side ofthe left and right/upper and lower portion of the reflective sheet 120.

Accordingly, when the light is reflected by the corner portion of thereflective sheet 120, the ratio of blue light contained in the light maybe reduced, and the ratio of yellow light may be further increased. Itis possible to relieve a defect in which an amount of light L5, whichhas the large number of times transmitted through the light conversionsheet, in the corner portion of the light source apparatus 100 is lessthan an amount of light L5 in the central portion of the light sourceapparatus 100.
